I am the Second Owner of this Rare Collector Vintage F-250 Camper Special Ford Truck. As far as I know, there isn't a truck in this original color, condition, and shape w\ the original Ford topper anywhere in the US. And I've been searching the internet for over a decade. It's only got 90515 original miles on the vehicle. That is body, interior, and engine! It has the vehicle's original engine, a clean 460 that hums and the original Transmission that shifts perfectly. Virtually, all I've done to the vehicle (and I still have all the original paint photos before I took "Big Red" to paint) is a 4 layer clear coat paint job I had professionally done to the truck and topper, added the rhino lining in the bed, tinted all the windows, added the diamond plate, and did some engine work. It had the entire back brakes, drums, bearings etc. (everything) replaced 2 years ago. I added the BFGs you see on there as well. They are 35inch BFG tires and are mounted on a 4 inch lift that was on the truck before I bought it. I bought the truck with all original chrome and the immaculate interior looking virtually as it does today. The truck has been covered or stored inside. This body has ZERO Rust. Completely rust free! I bought the truck at 80k from someone in Spokane WA that had garage kept it, hence the immaculate features, including the perfect plush original bench seat and perfect un-cracked dash which has been covered with the plush dash cover ever since I bought it. I've never seen a truck in this shape before. After searching for 8 plus years I finally found and purchased the topper last year and had it sanded and painted to match the truck. I didn't like the original paint design Ford had on the toppers (originally Ford claimed the topper as theirs but sub-contracted their construction out to Leer) and for anyone who knows anything about these trucks, you'll know how rare this topper is. I added an airbag suspension to the back last year and like pumping the bags full to lift the back end slightly higher than the front. I'm selling this to trade up to another project truck f-350. I know these trucks inside out. I've had three of the exact same truck, like EXACTLY this model. My first was a rust bucket, my second was immaculate but sadly, stolen out of my driveway never to be recovered, and this is my third and the best condition truck I've not only ever owned but also ever seen available anywhere. As the photos show, I recently had it inspected and Vintage certified in the state of Utah. I have the original Owner's name, receipt of purchase, the original manual, and Ford sack it all came in. This thing came original with pretty much all the features including TILT, CRUISE, AC, SLIDING WINDOWS/ DOOR POCKETS/ and lots lots more. As is standard practice on vehicles this old, I'm selling the truck as is, without a warranty, and will not refund the purchase upon completion of the sale. So much of the actual vehicle is certifiably original it's hard to believe. You are responsible for pick up but I will help with shipping delivery anywhere in the US. I've purchased vehicles from afar before and know the easiest and cheapest ways to transport them. This truck could easily make the drive to wherever in the US (I've driven it myself to Canada and back), but you'd probably not want to put the miles on it if it's going a long ways. I reserve the right to end this auction early, and I am listing it locally. Please only serious bidders who understand this truck's value and have the money to pay for it. I had 45 photos, ebay only lets you upload 24. It was hard to narrow down to this. Can email others. Have shots of door panels and engine etc. 90515 Documented original milesOn Mar-11-12 at 18:21:21 PDT, seller added the following information: ADDITION: PLEASE LINK HERE https://picasaweb.google.com/matthew.r.colling/BigRedAlbum FOR MORE PHOTOS OF ENGINE And for those who have been asking, the engine did indeed come originally as a 460, I've got it on the original bill of sale which I still have.
